Conventional Energy Sources are fast depleting : Demand –supply gap

Holes in Ozone layer resulting in Green house effect.

Global warming, temperatures rising and so is the Sea level.

Why Renewable?

Need for Renewable

Chronology of events1992: The UN Framework Convention on Climate

Change (UNFCCC) was conceived1995: 1st Conference of Parties (COP) in Berlin to

outline specific targets on emissions.1997: Kyoto Protocol in Kyoto, Japan, agreed for

framing broad outlines of emissions targets.2002: Russia and Canada ratify the Kyoto Protocol to

the UNFCCC2005: The treaty comes into effect on 16 February

2005.2011: Canada became the first signatory to announce

its withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol.2012: On 31 December 2012, the first commitment

period under the Protocol expired.

How to harness ?

ITS ALL AROUN

D US

Solar Energy:Solar Power project with Photovoltaic panels and

Solar reflectors. Domestic use of solar energy

House lighting, water heating, Cooking,Domestic appliances viz. solar calculators, small battery

charging applications.

Wind energy:Wind Farms in coastal area, Hilly Mountains & in deep

sea.Combination of wind and Solar energy for domestic

house hold use.Irrigation through wind & solar pumps.

Tidal energy: Where tide difference is high & V/ U shaped coast viz. bay of Kutch & Cambay in Gujarat.

We at GSFC believe that not every benefit is tangible there are various intangible benefits as well.

Recently GSFC CMD Shri S K Nanda rolled out Drip Irrigation supported by Solar System.

India has low Conventional Energy resources (Oil & Gas) – net importer

Coal reserves are abundant, but low pithead quality

Vast and unexplored hinterlands & large coastline

Intensity of Sunlight and Wind is appreciablePerennial riversGovernment support through incentives &

Schemes (JNNSM, SWHS )Catering rising per capita energy

consumption through renewable.

Scope ?

Poor technological capabilityDiscreet availability of renewable sources.Economy does not support high initial

investments in RenewableStorage of renewable energy.Limitations in Dams due to Seismic zones.Low Power transmission capacity.

Limitations !

Although renewable energy has a huge potential in Indian scenario however right approach and encouraging government policies and funding (must be supportive and should be more incentivised )

Technology transfer from developed nations to developing countries to be added by UNFCCC- Kyoto protocol.

Considering the long term approach it is our responsibility to reduce fossil fuels consumption and look for alternatives that is renewable.

Renewable Energy utilization requires the right and innovative approach by all members of the Society.

Conclusion

Efficient utilisation of Eco System
